Abstract

A visible light responsive photocatalyst (CdS/rGO) was synthesized by one-step solvothermal method.The photocatalyst consisted of nano-CdS dispersed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO).It was characterized by XRD,SEM,TEM,XPS and FT-IR.Using methylene blue (MB) as a contaminant,the photocatalytic performance of the composite was studied.The results showed that the CdS/rGO nanocomposite had higher photocatalytic activity.Through repeated cycle experiments,it was proved that the CdS/rGO composite had good reusability.Finally,a possible photodegradation mechanism was proposed based on the test of reactive radicals.
